I am not exactly sure of what advantages/disadvantages it has. I'll be looking at it later this week or early next. Jparks is still at sony, coding like a crazy man. If you need his contact info, send me an email. chad (at) chadmoore (dot) net Relations are crazy, very powerful, but also not well documented. They can be very very hard to use with the damn interface to edit them. The UI just gets clogged with all the connections. But, again, they are extremely powerful. The "scale and offset" node can do a lot of the operations of Maya's math nodes all in one fell swoop. Seeya, Chad I have heard of pymel, although I haven’t used it yet.

Very impressive. I just starting looking at some fundamental videos on houdini. Starting to ramp up. Hey, have you heard of PYMEL? and have you used it? Also, is Jason Parks still at sony? i wanted to contact him. Talk to you later buddy. -George p.s. learned about Relation constraints in motionbuilder last week. Great stuff! Chad,

Although we have had a lot of snow this year. He had 5 inches last night alone. The kids love it and we built a 6 foot tall snowman this morning, so it ain't all bad :) Seems like all the 3D apps are implementing python. How are you liking Houdini? Seeya, Chad Hey George,

Sound like they are. Your kids are so big. It's amazing. I look forward to pythonGeek. I really want to get into python considering i'm getting into houdini and modo. Not to mention the app i already use, maya, motionbuilder which also uses python :) hehe. Talk to you later buddy. -George Hey dude,
